However, it has come to our knowledge through social media posts that air guns were used during the training camp. The district police are investigating in this regard,” he said.
Further, he said, “according to the regulations of the Arms Act and Arms Rules, one does not require special permission for the purchase and use of air guns. We will provide additional information in this regard after a detailed investigation.”
